Disposable/Single Use Freezer Bags
They have many names. An image search for the technical name brings up at least the following:
- Cool Shield Thermal Bubble Mailers
- Silver Protective Cold Frezon Insulated Box Liners Insulated Foil Bubble Bag
- Portable Cold Cool Insulation Bag
- Thermal Disposable Food Delivery Bags
You may receive them using meal-kit delivery, food delivery, your Amazon Prime Now order or an Instacart order.
According to Austin Resource Recovery, this is a “bubble wrap and a type of metallic plastic that is not compatible with our plastic film.” It’s a composite/mixed material so difficult to recycle.
These go in the trash.
My attempts on our neighborhood Facebook Marketplace Group to find anyone interested in reusing them failed.
A great website I found while looking for the technical name, Zeroish.org, has some super tips on placing a zero waste Instacart order.
